" Delicious food! I can't stress enough how amazing the pupusas were. Authentic and flavorful! The service was adequate, nothing to complain about. I would love to go back and try the seafood platter next time as it seems popular. Kudos to the entire team! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pulgarcito is a delightful little place. Their pupusas are stuffed properly with all the right ingredients. The ambiance was a bit loud but that kind of added to the fun. The staff was welcoming but we had to wait a bit for our food. Overall, a solid dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend this restaurant! The pupusas were bursting with flavor, and I loved the house-made pico de gallo. The ambiance felt cozy but lively at the same time. My only complaint was the wait time for food, which was longer than expected. Otherwise, a delightful experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food was quite good, I encountered a few issues with the service. It took too long for the wait staff to check our table. However, the pupusas were delicious and I left feeling satisfied. A little balance between service and food quality would take this place to the next level. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pulgarcito is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Salvadoran food. I felt like I was back at home with every bite. It was very busy during our visit, but the staff remained friendly. The pupusas, yuca, and the various salsas were delightful. Will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
